Re: NY/Pacers postgame thread

I'm glad he made it....but I really would have preferred to go to the hot hand ( Hibbert ) or Hansbrough ( who I hope would have gotten an "and 1" ).

Personally I think feeding a big for the last shot is a difficult situation. Too easy for contact to change the shot and have the refs swallow their whistles in a late game situation. I was comfortable with Granger taking the shot, and you could see it was money as soon as it left his hand.

Before someone says it...I'm not complaining....I just would have preferred to go with someone taking a higher percentage shot.

I said the same thing in the game thread. But that is just my preference in basketball. When the game is on the line I would prefer to attack the rim for the highest percentage shot and the possibility of drawing a foul. I didn't say anything about who should take the last shot, just that I wanted the last shot to go to the rim.

I was screaming "don't get the ball to Granger!" at the TV...only cuz I was afraid that he was going to take a jump shot and clank it. But he did....sort of...attack the basket and scored over Shawne "I wish I had a high of a ceiling as Paul George" Williams.

This is David West, he is the Honey Badger, West just doesn't give a *****....he's pretty bad *ss cuz he has no regard for any other Player or Team whatsoever.

Re: NY/Pacers postgame thread

Really unexpected stat of the night.....Hansbrough with 3...count them...3 Rebounds.
I really thought that he would have gotten more rebounds then that. I was just surprised that he only grabbed 3 rebounds ( yes, I have him on my fantasy Team...that's why I noticed )

I wasn't complaining....with the game on the line like that....I just preferred that we take a higher percentage shot ( as in anything Hibbert or Hansbrough would have taken ) then a midrange jumpshot....which I suspected Granger would take.
